Till date, iDEX has launched five rounds of Defence India Startup Challenges , and three rounds of Open Challenge , receiving more than 2000 applications from innovators. iDEX has been able to fund projects in many technological areas under DISCs and OC through the Support for Prototype and Research Kickstart  framework, which entail provisioning of grants upto Rs 1.50 crore to the startups.
The Partner Incubators  bridge the gap between the requirements of startups and technological expertise required to develop the product. iDEX also features as a procurement avenue under the Defence Acquisition Procedure-2020. The Government has approved a scheme worth Rs 498.78 Crore to scale up iDEX in the next five years. 60 contracts for developing innovative prototypes have been signed under iDEX.
The establishment of iDEX is aimed at creation of an ecosystem to foster innovation and technology development in Defence and Aerospace by engaging Industries including MSMEs, start-ups, individual innovators, R&D institutes and academia and provide them grants/funding and other support to carry out R&D development which has good potential for future adoption for Indian defence and aerospace needs. Accordingly, as per the feature incorporated in the Defence Acquisition Procedure, the prototypes that have been successfully developed through the iDEX framework find the route for procurement by the concerned Services. In line with the above, the Indian Navy has already placed a Supply Order on one iDEX Winner. The Defence Public Sector Undertakings  are also mandated to follow similar procurement procedure for iDEX cases.
Under the iDEX scheme, Memorandum of Understanding  have been signed with 11 incubators. Out of the 11 Partner Incubators, 7 are Institutes of National Importance and 1 is Institute of Eminence.
This information was given by Raksha Rajya Mantri Shri Ajay Bhatt in a written reply to Col Rajyavardhan Rathore  in Lok Sabha today.
